Photovoltaic Geographical Information System (PVGIS) (original) (raw)

PVGIS provides information on solar radiation and photovoltaic system performance for any location in the world, except the North and South Poles.

What we do

How much electricity could photovoltaics produce where I live?

How does production change over the year?

How much does a battery help to use all the electricity produced?

PV performance

Electricity produced per year by a PV system performance for any location.

Solar Radiation

Time series of hourly, daily or monthly values of solar radiation and PV performance.

TMY

Hourly data set of nine climatic variables over a "typical" year, formatted for building energy calculation tools.

Free and open access to photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation potential for different technologies and configurations.
Available in English, French, Italian, Spanish and German.
